I am originally from Thailand, moved to the United States with my family in 2006. After a year and a half here I was diagnosed with Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). It was a big change in my life, everyday tasks that once I could do without an effort became a challenge, chronic fatigue and pain were my way of life. Then, I was introduced to yoga in 2008, and it shortly became my path of self-healing. Yoga has made me stronger physically and mentally, and allows me to live pain free.

 

In the summer of 2013 I finished 200 hours of yoga teacher training from the La Jolla Yoga Center, and I have been teaching since then. Throughout early years of teaching there was frustration building up from many questions that I was unable to answer my students which leading me to a path of Yoga Therapy. I have been on a Yoga Therapy Program at The Soul of Yoga since September 2016.
